  24. I think the combination of ingredients sounds so fresh and fabulous. I can imagine the wonderful flavor of the mint! This sounds very very good. When I next go to the health food store I shall look for bulgar (as it is not sold in our "regular" grocery mart). What kind of mint do you use? Spearmint, peppermint? Or is there another?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Katy, I use peppermint. But, any mint can be used in this salad. As for Bulgar ,you can easily find it in Indian store/ Pakistani store/ Arab store.
